  • Description: <jats:p> Aggregated polypeptides accumulating inside mitochondria are sequestered in a single cellular quality compartment, called IMiQ. Its formation retains proteotoxic aggregates in a distinct cellular localization, increasing mitochondrial fitness by relieving the protein quality control system of misfolded polypeptides. </jats:p>
